Possibly The World’s Dumbest Criminal

Typically criminals are either very smart or very stupid.

Zhou, a burglar from HuBei Province, China, proves through his recent crime that he has to be the dumbest criminal ever.

Zhou decided to break into a house in a nice neighborhood in HuBei. He was successful in taking about $65,000 in random jewels and cash. He also found two extremely large diamond rings in the house.

It wasn’t until after he was caught and police began questioning him about the real diamond jewelry that he realized the diamonds were real and he had thrown them away.

It took the police a little while to figure out what the burglars repeated “I’m so stupid” statement was all about.

No mention was made as to whether the two diamond rings where ever recovered.

Oops…. too bad!!! if he hadn’t thrown the rings away and returned them back after he got caught, he might get much less punishment than whatever he have to face now.

+1 to dartwing, you cannot fix stupid.

That goes to show that people do not know how to assess the value of what comes to them for free (or at little cost or effort)… they need to work hard to earn something and appreciate it.

That goes to show that people need to really make and effort to earn and appreciate what they get in life. Give somebody a Fabergé egg as a gift, and they will use it as a football…

That is stupid. wow My pocket book was stolen 2 weeks ago and a cop called my house to return it. Some how I got all my stuff back but if she would have looked closer I had a five dollar bill in the glove box. I got police on the case I hope they find her and bust her butt.

Stupid.. or a good actor. Seriously.. if you were robbing a house why bother flushing things you dont want down the loo? Doesn’t make sense..

Although getting caught definately makes him stupid.
